In photobucket, to the left of your image, there is a panel that says 'Share this Image' with four sets of code beneath.

I copied the IMG Code (at the bottom of that list) and simply pasted it into my reply.

Hope that helps!

Thank you boys, you're far too kind! :D

BTW the camo was quite simple:
Basecoat with Vallejo Cork Brown.
Then paint large and small patches with Vallejo Camouflage Green.
Then paint tiny dots with Vallejo olive Green INSIDE the dark green.

For the autumn side substitute dark green with very dark brown, and olive green with Orange Brown.

That's all.

Paul,

thank you very much!
Take care that this is only one of the different versions of SS camo.

Now I'm at home and here are the Vallejo numbers:
Cork brown 843
Camo green 971
Olive green 976
Dark brown 822
Orange brown 981

Hope this helps!

Ciao
Marco

Postal,

I know that in Texas "Marco" is quite a common name for ferrets! ;^)

Anyway please thank your daughter, and inform her that I'm VERY proud to have on the other side of the pond, a ferret called Marco!

Marco (no, not the ferret... the other one!)

I got the paint suggested and I am going to test paint a figure this week.  If it comes out like Macro's I am going to repaint my whole platoon.  That's how much I like the look of these figures.
